The name, “Deer Snacks,” is an homage to many Vermonters’ feelings about wild apples. The gnarled fruit that we find while foraging has, for decades, been chalked up as food for wildlife, ill suited for human consumption. We know better: Every now and then, we discover wild apple trees producing remarkable fruit that cries out to be turned into cider, and that’s the fruit we harvest by hand and take home to the cidery. Of course, we always leave a few snacks behind the for the deer.

4-pack from my local hipster-mart. Pint glass. Opaque yellow orange brew. Smells of curiously orange-like sharp apples. Lemon, pepper, seltzer. Taste is gently fruity. Hints at wood. Building acidity that gives way to floral orange citrus. Light carbonation. Simple, but not too simple. Similar to Spritz, but bigger, cleaner & quite easy to make disappear. Really great cider for $4 a can.

Very nice. Tart red/green/crisp/sharp apples; fruit peel/herbal/floral/grass/yeast earth; lt pepper/funk. Bone dry/crisp carb. Lingering acids/tang/tannins. Min pucker/astringent. Smooth. Great apple complexity/balance. Spot on farmhouse cider as expected
